Improving a Sense of Unity via BrainWaves in a Virtual Concert Where Performances in Real Space are Watched in a Virtual Space

Abstract

In virtual live concerts that can be attended remotely, there is a problem of a weak sense of unity due to a lack of shared reactions among the participants. We have attempted to solve this problem by focusing on the sharing of physiological signals, but there was a limitation in the range of types of virtual live content that could be performed. In this study, we developed a virtual live streaming system that removes this limitation, and confirmed that generating visual effects based on electroencephalography signals at a musical instrument concert improves the sense of unity felt by the audience.
